Prof. M.D. Aziz Polat Reviews

Our 14-year-old competitive rock climber, Elif, developed a mysterious wrist weakness that baffled local specialists. Dr. Polat, noticing her chalk-stained fingers during consultation, connected it to a rare repetitive strain injury seen in young athletes. His tailored physio plan using climbing-specific exercises had her back on the wall in 8 weeks, stronger than before.

When 3-day-old Arda stopped feeding and turned pale at home, we rushed to Acibadem Atakent in panic. Dr. Polat diagnosed a critical congenital heart defect within minutes, coordinating an emergency transfer to the cardiac unit. His calm explanation to terrified first-time parents while managing the crisis saved our son's life.

Our 7-year-old, Kaan, adopted from overseas, had severe night terrors and unexplained abdominal pain. Multiple doctors dismissed it as anxiety. Dr. Polat spent 90 minutes on the first visit, uncovering a parasitic infection from his home country and sleep apnea. Treating both transformed him into a happy, energetic child within a month.

As professional musicians, we were devastated when our 9-year-old violinist, Zeynep, developed focal dystonia in her left hand. Dr. Polat collaborated with a neurologist and a music therapist to create a revolutionary retraining program. She now plays concertos again, using techniques Dr. Polat helped develop.
